Sneak Peak at P.B. Dye's new Playa Paraiso Golf Club

I just played Playa Paraiso Golf Club, the new P.B. Dye in Riveria Maya (Cancun area) that’s scheduled to open next Saturday, June 18. It’s not as tough as you expect from a Dye. In fact, if you’re looking to get absolutely beaten up and then pounded on some more, Dye style, you may be disappointed.

P.B. definitely kept the average resort golfer in mind on this one. He watched one golf writer shoot a two-over 74 on preview day from the back tees and seemed to love every minute of it.

And you thought every Dye was a merciless monster?

One of the things that will make this course unlike any you’ve seen before are the cenotes - essentially gaping sink holes where twisted trees have grown.

And you don’t want to miss No. 8, which looks like a BMX bike track from the tees with its series of small, sharp hills.

For the complete story on this new P.B. Dye located at the Iberostar resort, stay tuned.
